Who is actually, truly "hungry" all the time? Is your stomach doing that painful scraping thing??

No one eating more than 1500 calories/day is ever actually hungry, unless they're running 10 miles a day.

I think many people confuse cravings, boredom, or lack of fullness for "hunger." Because if you're eating a decent amount (say 1500 calories) and still feeling that painful scraping feeling in your stomach, you need to see a doctor.

1500 calories a day isn’t a lot.

Wasn’t there an Ancel Keys study during WWII where they restricted men’s calories to 1500 calories a day for six months, and they all went kind of crazy?

PP here, and I agree that 1500 isn't a lot if one is active and female. It's the amount many women should eat if they were at rest, all day every day.

But most of us get a bit of movement here and there. 1500, however, is fine if if you're trying to lose weight (and no sorry, I don't believe the "I can't lose weight on 1200 calories!" posters). Point being, you're not going to actually feel physical hunger if you're eating 1500 calories/day.

I don’t know.  Those guys started hoarding food, got mildly depressed, stopped being interested in sex, and got obsessed with thinking about themselves and their health.

They also had a ton of trouble when they started eating normally again.

It doesn’t sound good.
